What is the Ivy Prehab Program?

The Ivy Prehab plan is an investment in your post-op recovery. You’ll receive concierge care, from your surgeon to the physical therapist. You’ll receive a detailed and structured prehab program comprised of daily exercises to prepare you for surgery and help you achieve your goals.

Visits range from 50-60 minutes in length. The program is typically 2-6 visits over the course of 1 month.

We want to help make sure you’re on the road to a faster recovery. Visits typically include:

  1. Learn about pre-operation expectations
  2. Assess objectives and set goals
  3. Establish home exercises with the guidance of your physical therapist
  4. Postural & body-mechanics education
  5. Gait training on all surfaces
  6. The assistive device obtained and fitted
  7. Improve range of motion and strength
  8. Safety checks

Raymond is great.Response from the ownerHearing this feedback means so much to us – thank you for sharing! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Bala Cynwyd – North ★★★★★ I had a great experience here at PTW Blue Bell, and there was always such a positive and fun environment that I loved! I worked with Tyler in the beginning who was awesome, and when he opened his own clinic, I had the privilege of working with Matt. Matt was always so supportive and helpful. He was always keeping me on my toes with new exercises to challenge and help me become stronger. Matt truly cares about his patients, and is super personable as well as knowledgeable. All of the staff here are super friendly and great at what they do, and it makes all the difference. Not only do they care about you as a patient, but also as a person.

They really enjoy the play space, so much so that my son usually has to be incentivized to leave lol The receptionist is extremely friendly and is great with the kids, and I can’t say enough about all of our wonderful therapists.Thanks for all the hard work you do you guys, the kiddos love seeing you, and you’re helping those of us without a professional therapist background to understand how to best help our kids.

Thank you Taryn, Amanda, Kristy n and interns.Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share this review, it means so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab, Kokomo! ★★★★★ I started working with David Mills last year prior to COVID. David is a professional. I am always amazed at his knowledge and how he is able to translate that knowledge so that I can understand what is going on with my body. He listens, asks questions, puts himself in my shoes and truly cares about his patients. When COVID hit, I was very impressed with the quick adjustments the office made to protect me as a patient and their staff. As a tennis pro, I am often asked to give a recommendation for PT. I have, without any hesitation recommended David and Back in Action PT. I can’t tell you how many students I have sent David’s way and he has always been prompt at getting them in and treated them with the same care I received. The staff at Back in Action are a family. They know me and they care. I highly recommend going to see David Mills, you will be thankful you did. ★★★★★ The staff and providers here are unmatched. The absolute best patient care and service. I went for my newborn’s torticolis and saw Dr. Matt. My baby loved him! His treatment was extremely effective and gentle. He is very experienced and runs a great facility. I can’t think of one single nit pick.Response from the ownerThank you so much for sharing your thoughts, we appreciate you! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Monroe ★★★★★ ABC is amazing. Their therapist and Staff members go above and beyond to help each child that walks through their door. Thank you ABC for everything you do.Response from the ownerThank you! ★★★★★ Chris is very knowledgeable! He actually cares, listens and works hard to resolve your injury. I highly recommend him! And Amber is a sweetheart and super accommodating to work with!Response from the ownerThank you for taking the time to share this review, it means so much! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Caledonia ★★★★★ The therapist conducted a thorough interview during my initial consultation explaining how we would proceed. I have never waited for any appointments; I am welcomed warmly when I arrive; I am progressing due to the excellent care and exercises to do at home; the therapist has done a great job in relieving my pain and strengthening my shoulder. Everyone at All Care in Barnegat is professional, courteous and caring.Response from the ownerWe take pride in giving excellent all-around care. Thank you for your review. ★★★★★ I went 3 months after back surgery. I was walking but not well. And very stiff and weak. I now have a full range of motion and am stronger than before I went for surgery. Joe and Katrina and Holly are great therapists! The staff is great too. They will get you moving again. Excel Therapy is amazing! If you need PT, go see them.Response from the ownerWe value your feedback, thank you for your kind words! – The team at Excel Physical Therapy, West Deptford ★★★★★ The staff at this location is top notch, all the therapists are well trained and very attentive. The receptionist is also fantastic and makes payment and scheduling very easy. the location has ample parking and the facility is very clean.Best ivy rehab I’ve been to.Response from the ownerWe value your feedback, thank you for your kind words! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Bala Cynwyd – North ★★★★★ I wanted to share my experience to hopefully allow future customers to hear this before choosing the people that will care for them through recovery. I have worked with multiple team members at this location and during the last few weeks have been able to see a change in not only my physical self, but my mood in myself in general. Emily, Zach & Kyle so far have made every second of my recovery energetic and truthful. They pushed me when they seen the potential, yet let me relax when they seen the discomfort. When they knew I needed to go farther, they supported me through every step. I wasn’t anywhere near a painful recovery as others were. But even seeing their patience and kindness with clients who were in much harder positions than me made me trust them more. They care here, and that’s why I leave everytime with a smile.Response from the ownerThat’s wonderful to hear – thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! – The team at Ivy Rehab, Comstock Park! ★★★★★ Mike is the best in the business! He’s personable, caring and always does what’s best for his patients. He is incredibly knowledgeable, but if he’s not an expert in a specific area, he will do his research to get answers. He even follows up. It was a refreshing experience at Ivy Rehab with Mike. Amazing having someone who’s good at what they do, but most importantly someone who cares.Response from the ownerWe value your feedback, thank you for your kind words! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy, Indian Trail js_loader
